The result of the move request was: Consensus to move using birth-year disambiguation (non-admin closure) BegbertBiggs (talk) 21:12, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thomas Parker (Medal of Honor) → Thomas Parker (American Civil War soldier)
- Thomas Parker (soldier) → Thomas Parker (American Revolution soldier)
– Per WP:PRECISE. The parenthetical disambiguation "soldier" is not specific enough. Both Thomas Parkers were notable as soldiers. I know that the parentheticals I suggested are clunky, but I couldn't think of anything better. I'm open to other suggestions as well. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 07:22, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- You could go with (soldier, born <year>), which is sufficiently precise, commonly used and much more concise. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:26, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose original proposal that is not precise, but Support title like (Thomas Parker (soldier, born 1822)). 182.1.235.55 (talk) 23:22, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: I am the nominator, but I would support these WP:OTHEROPTIONS as well. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 06:25, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Support Thomas Parker (soldier, born 1753) (or Thomas Parker (general)) and Thomas Parker (soldier, born 1822). -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:52, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
